To convert an IP address to its hexadecimal (hex) representation, you need to follow these steps:
Steps for Conversion:
Split the IP address into its four octets (bytes), which are separated by periods.
Convert each octet (a decimal number) into its two-digit hexadecimal form.
Combine the hexadecimal values of the four octets to get the full hex address.
Example:
Let's convert the IP address 192.168.0.1 to hex.
Step 1: Split the IP address into four octets:
192 (first octet)
168 (second octet)
0 (third octet)
1 (fourth octet)
Step 2: Convert each octet to hexadecimal:
192 (decimal) = C0 (hex)
168 (decimal) = A8 (hex)
0 (decimal) = 00 (hex)
1 (decimal) = 01 (hex)
Step 3: Combine the hex values:
The IP address 192.168.0.1 in hexadecimal is C0.A8.00.01.
Final Answer:
The IP address 192.168.0.1 in hexadecimal is C0A80001.
General Formula:
For an IP address like A.B.C.D:
Convert A, B, C, and D to hex (2 digits per octet).
Combine the four hex pairs together.
